    But that bandwith is very poor... compared to X38 boards.

    Did you tried the best bandwith spot with that board?!

    Look at his ram timings man, he was on a quest for max FSB, slackening ram timings big time 8-12-12-34 CR2, think OBR doesn't have good ram kit... and if 790i is anything liek 780i or 680i you pay big time for high FSb in the ram department...

    talkign about DDR3 ram which one is a good clocker in the medium price range ? I heard good stuff about Corsairs clocking to almost 2000mhz...

    here is a review from OC3D doing some very high FSB clocks with 790i

    overall they seem impressed with their board (well except for price ) hehehe
